JOHN'S PlCTURE OF WOR-SlflP ' IN HEAVEN

' (Rev. 7:947)

GOLDEN ‘f-EXTI-Biesslng, tine ~giory and Wiidvmnand thanksgiv- lng, and honor, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever, Amen. Revelation 7:12. _.'Golden Tlixt.

Our lesson is a continuation oi the vision oi‘ the Apostle John or; thc isle of Palmos. To him was re- tooled‘ a new earth where ihert shall be no more sorrow or pair. or death. wA (lelcstial city with it; water of life, in which there shall he no more night, forrlte light is the glory of God. _ _ v

Dr. W. L. Watkinson gays: W. cannot byghe moat fellcltous word-- convey any definite idea. oath tidor oi‘ flowers. if we wished u, describe the acent oi‘ a strangt iluivor, we should find that langu- age failed to convcy to another tin impression that the flower ha: made upon us. A foreign: naturalls: informs us that he strove hard ti got a just idea of the songs o. British birds; he inquired of thosc who knew bird music and carefully, read ornithological works, yet al. his efforts we're, fruitless; ‘ivhen u last he heard these singers, ever) song came as a surprise. We can- nut with words give any idea of tht sounds emitted by nightingale, blickbird, or akylark. And we ma_\ be very sure that words must prove inadequate to express the sublim- est emotions of the soul. Our sup- ernal momenta» soaring thoughts, lightning insight-s, and rapturous sensations of power and gladness dcfy expression.

Dr. Jowett in his iittle- ‘book, “The ‘Silver Lining," thus deline- altos John's beautiful description- of Heaven.

it is a life of reet.—l do not

wonder that Faber, in one of his books, when he had mentioned this word “rest," added the sentence: "Let us stay and suck that word as if it were a honeycomb." Now peo- pie have to labor-very hard, and amid very straitened circumstan- ces, find ini the word a delicious consolation. I remember once talk- ing with a fisher-woman who had lost her husband and two eons at sea. I asked her what she liked most to think about when she thought about lthe laud beyond, and i was notjurprised to hear her say, “And there shall be no more sea." An-d when you go to very tired people, people who are not only physically tired but mentally worn, t ere is no word which ap- peals to them with such sweet sig- . niiicance as just. this common word 3 “rest? I said to one of my people - the other day, as I stood. by -his dying bed, “Rest comes at length!" And the tired eyes lit up, and l- knew the meaning oi the expect- ncy that leaped into his hungry yes. “They shall hunger no more, {neither thirst any more, neither flhall the sun strike upon them, or unyheat"; "there shall be nu . lore pain." ii. is a‘ life oi qucst.—_ii is not a ife of mere passivity. but a life of glorious ltctivity. First ‘of all our (iucst is to ho under the immediate lit-ridership oi" our Lord: “lie shall guide lilPlll unto fountains oi‘ wat- t-rs oi‘ life." The unveiling of new things, tho unsettling ul’ new springs-L Whon we ltavt- dropped tho clay and tho veil oi the ilcsh, we shall stand out with illlllltfllslll" ably illt'l't'i1:it‘ti powers oi‘ pt-lcep- iion and going wiilrtmr Lord its our personal UUlltlitlPlllI‘ timont; lili.‘ won- ders oi‘ ituvciletl truth and all the splondors of glory, with our im- mt-zisurzrilly intensifiotl powers, we shall ilud countless kinds of new and ttiiiliiugiliiblc delights break out before us- on every side.

it is a life of servlccr-l like that litilo phrase which Swedcnborg uses concerning the employments ot‘ Ileaven»: "There will be occupa- tion but no labor." The worker is never tired! liis activity is never toil! lt- is is a life of tises, and cv- cry soul will have its individual en- IPFDYiSE.

And it is a lite of wondrous coin- munion.——1i‘irst of all, itiq com- munion with one another. ».i sonic- lhnes say to my people when they arc tcllin-g me their sorrows and their troubles, and when neither the teller nor the bearer can find even the faintest clue, “You will explain it to me some day!" I say it as a glorious conviction that one of the Joya and delights of the heavenly ‘country will be the per- fect understanding of the things that have bewildered us here. We shall get the clue, and we shall tell one another the story which down here we found a burden and a des- troyer of our peace.

But pro-eminently, and aibove all' other things, it is‘ to be a life of follow-ship with the Lord. "Forev- cr with the Lord! Amen, s let it be!" “The Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall taber-
